Need a new desk! - Ash - 2012-11-20 16:40

So... When building my cockpit, I stupidly chucked my desk away. Now after having my cockpit like two months, I am so bored of it, it's so awkward to do anything other than drive in lol, I can't use my computer for computery things atall.

Can someone recommend me a desk please, would like if possible a corner one under £100.

Cheers

Ash Smile

I built a keyboard tray into my cockpit so I could use if for normal browsing too. The leg desks work well for cockpits too.

Ever since I'm using a PC, I had myself built some kind of desk which was basically just a counter-top plate, like used in kitchens. Mounted 4 square legs to each edge, that's it. Plain and simple. As I moved a couple of times the last years, I had the plate changed a couple of times, but the legs can be re-used every time.
Well, if you need something fancy with a lot of drawers and such , that's the wrong thing then.
Approx prices:
Plate: ~30€ / meter length for the kitchen counter ones (38mm thick), but you can basically use every piece of wood as long it doesn't bend
Legs: ~7 € each (25x25x700mm)
+ a few screws for wood

What chuck said - worktops are a cheap way to get a big, solid desk.
Failing that, second hand furniture shops, reclaimers, house clearance etc. Or you could go the student route and raid a skip outside someone's house who's just had a new kitchen.
You might be able to find something at an office supply place, but that'll probably be too expensive.
